Your new companyA role with Oxford City Council is an opportunity to contribute to Oxford
2050, bringing together hundreds of public consultation responses to deliver across five themes – Work and learning, people and communities, built and natural environment, transport and connectivity, and culture and leisure. The Planning team is a close-knit team that really delivers for the needs of the City, driving growth and ensuring it works for all.

Your new role Oxford is a world-class city with an international reputation, and the Development Management team has been involved in projects that have transformed Oxford in recent years, including the 440m Westgate Shopping Centre, 885 home urban extension at Barton, and the mixed-use employment led development at Oxford North. The team are also involved in projects for prestigious employers in the historic core of Oxford, where the demand to provide new development in the context of one of the world’s finest cities presents a unique and exciting challenge.

A Senior / Principal level position as part of the Strategic team working on these projects is a rare role that doesn't come around often. What you'll need to succeed

You will need to have worked on strategic and complex applications as part of a Local Authority. This is a high-pressure role, so you will need to hit the ground running when it comes to progressing through Major applications on behalf of the council. The team are supportive and will help to upskill in lots of areas, but a track record of delivering on large schemes within a UK-based council is a must.

What you'll get in returnA fantastic place to work and live! The post offers a competitive salary of up to 51k with a whole range of benefits to be found on the Oxford City Council microsite - Welcome | Oxford City Council | Hays UK. The team work really well collaboratively and deliver a great service. As a Major Projects Planner, you will need to be available in the council for meetings and committees, but probably only once a week or once a fortnight.
